LibriVox recording of Cloudy Jewel, by Grace Livingston Hill. Read by volunteer readers.

Julia Cloud, the oldest--and most responsible--child of her family, helped raise her four siblings due to their mother's long-time illness and father's death. After faithfully nursing two ill brothers (who died), she then cared for her invalid mother for many years. When Julia's mother passes on, her only surviving sibling Ellen fully expects--and nearly demands--that her spinster sister come live with her family. But to earn her keep, Julia must be their live-in housekeeper and babysitter for Ellen's four children. But Julia's college-age niece and nephew arrive unexpectedly from California and offer Aunt Cloudy Jewel a surprise opportunity she never expected in her wildest dreams. (Summary by Joy Easton)

Subject: Narration 5 - story 3
First of all I would like to thank all of those who narrated this story. James O in particular was really wonderful to listen to. The story; however, was just way too preachy for me. I have enjoyed a few other of GLH's stories but this one was not my favorite. I forgot to download the last six chapters and was so bored with the story by then I did not really even bother to download them and finish the story. Unless you just really love GLH I would give this one a pass.
